The homemade bbq chips are by far the best side they have!

I really like the jets 8 corner pizza too. I'd like to know if properly executed, how this one stacks up as it's at least 4$ cheaper in my neck of the woods.

Slab bacon chopped and put into rice a roni.

I can't say :( Never had it yet.

I love the McRib for the nostalgia of being a kid. When I sit down and think about it, the McRib was my introduction to "bbq" and has led to my lifelong love of ribs and other tasty smokey meats. As soon as it was back I went out and got two and really enjoyed them. One thing I like to do now though is to get the chipotle bbq and put it on the McRib to give it a bit more bite. Not looking for the healthy good for me great tasting meal thing, just the make me feel good and remember my youth when I didn't have to worry about fat and calories feeling.

Not sure about fried chicken on the bone, but when I cook chicken breasts I use crushed cornflakes.

Love a brave volunteer CandiRisk! As I said, I personally prefer Papa Johns from all the chains, maybe because of the nostalgia of PJ's from college? They replaced the Pizza Pit and I thought was a huge upgrade. Of course then the crust on the pizza was the same as their breadsticks, nice and soft and pillowy with lots of yeasty wonderful flavor. Alas, no more.

Hey, Peppridge Farms, bring back mint brussells!

I agree with hungrychristel that I have a lot in common with her beau and I consider myself a picky eater, lol. I don't know of baked eggroll recipes. I usually just pan fry mine to get that great crispy skin on the rolls. As far as teaching him to cook, I think that cleaning / cooking likes / dislikes is a fair tradeoff. Both my wife and I like to cook but I'm usually home first. So I start the cooking, make my basic dishes and then when she comes home if she wants to add anything she does.

Interesting that you say we were lucky. I guess when I think of a restuarant vs a chain, I think a restuarant should do better. Whenever I order from a chain place, papa johns or dominos, etc. I can always get 1/2 & 1/2 with no extra charges for things like extra sauce. I guess I expect restuarants to be similar or exceed the expectations a pizza chain creates. And again, if I can't I am usually told, "ok, we can do that for the extra 50 cents for the pizza and the extra sauce on the side will be 50 cents more" I guess in some cases national does trump local.

I like to cut the chicken up and add it into the rice a roni. I put peas in it and sometimes bacon as well.

No matter how good Rao's might be, I just can't bring myself to spend $8 on a jar of pasta sauce. I usually like the Rinaldi's or even Prego but I season it with italian dressing mix to pep it up. Kind of reminds me of the kraft I had as a kid.

Unfortunately,Eat Wisconsin, many of the places for perfectly cooked to requested doneness that you listed are not truly "Milwaukee" restuarants. I grew up in Hartford and loved bar burgers, you know, premade patties that, while often overcooked had enough grease in them to taste good. The more my tastes change though, the more I long for great burgers cooked to the right temp that are juicy and flavorful. Often don't find those in Milwaukee but can in many of the "suburbs" or outlying cities surrounding Milwaukee.
